Frequently asked questions
What's in season right now in New Mexico?
It changes week to week — the "at peak now" strip above reads today's date, so it never goes stale. For the classics: strawberries peak early June through late June; sweet corn peak mid-July through late August; apples peak mid-August through late September.
When does the market season start in New Mexico?
The first local crops (spinach) show up around mid-March, and the boards fill from there.
Where can I go u-pick in New Mexico?
We chart timing, not farm listings — but the u-pick planner will tell you when any crop is worth the drive in New Mexico, and any search for "u-pick near me" works better once you know the week to aim for.
